Mt. Diablo

Recovering from Thanksgiving dinner usually involves a hike in the hills, and this year is no exception. With a phalanx of family, friends and dogs, the East Ridge Trail was mobbed by holiday repenters. As we returned home for seconds and thirds, a weather front joined the sunset and colored the dusk in pinks and oranges.

Walk before the dusk
Settles the day silently
Coloring our skies

Every year I go to Palm Desert and take the guided Thursday morning hike into the surrounding desert, and every year I marvel at the sights to be discovered along the way. This smoke tree is displaying its signature colors along with other glorious trees in Carrizo Canyon.
